Computer help!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you want to remove it?

DLL's are dynamic link libraries used by various applications. Do you know which app it's tied to? Removing the app will remove the dll as well.

You didn't give enough information to determine whether you should take it off or not, and your question "What does this mean", doesn't make much sense in that if you don't know what something means, don't be touching it until you do...

Did a virus program point it out to you or something? How did that line come up for you?

C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll

How can I remove this?
 
I don't know how it got on my PC. I rebooted my PC and this window popped up with that address in it. I don't know what it is. Why everytime I log off and then reboot this window pops up?

I have ran a virus scan and none of my files are contaminated. I have Norton 2004
 
Still need more details. Does a dos window pop up? Do you get any error messages? Does the window say anything else in it, like perhaps that file is not found?

Give as much detail as you can.

That isn't an address, it's a directory path to a file. Windows/system32 is a common directory 32 bit dll's are stored in. 16 bit ones are stored in windows/system.

If the file can't be found, your asking to delete a file that doesn't exist.

What you need, is to re-install whatever software you have that isn't functioning properly. That will put this file BACK, and you will stop getting the error.

Yeah it says this file can't be found. Thats all it says.
 
Something changed, or wasn't loaded properly, or the file got deleted accidentally. You can accidentally load sw off the net, for instance...

Go to your control panel, go to add/remove sw, and see if there is any software listed that you didn't load.

Quite honestly though, it won't hurt anything. If everything is working, leave it alone.

If it was me, I'd start up regedit and do a search through the registry, find out what sw uses that dll, and delete it, or reload it. But I think that will be beyond your ability.

I haven't taken anything off my PC.

I upgraded to Norton 2004, I had the 2003 version.
 
Hey Neo David... it may say that it's a dll file but it's not.. It's a Hijaking program made to look like a Dll... This is not a new trick.. It is simply a nasty piece of spyware... this bridge dLL file is not part of a windows operating system.

Simply running ad-aware may very well get rid of it.. (just remember to update it before you run it)
